Fails to generate .dxe file

Started by ace September 10, 2007
Good day everyone!

I'm having trouble with using VisualDSP++ 2.0. Whenever I build my
project, it fails to generate an executable (.dxe) file. I would of
course need and load it to the board. I checked the debug folder in my
project folder but could not find it. In fact, the IDDE says this
whenever I build my project:

"Do you want to open the file dialog and look for [the path of where
my dxe file is supposedly output]?"

I'm really, really confused. I know that the linker file should be
able to generate the dxe file but I really don't know what went wrong.
I already tried using different ldf files of examples from different
versions of VDSP++ (my project was coded in VisualDSP++ 4.5) but still
to no avail.

I have to use VDSP++ 2.0 because it still supports the Visual Basic
command ExecuteTcl() which I used to build a GUI and send coefficients
to the board. If there is any way that I could use VisualDSP++ 4.5 to
build a GUI using Visual Basic, can anybody teach me an alternative
command (instead of ExecuteTcl())to send TCL scripts to the board?

Thank you so much and I hope somebody can help me with this. The
deadline of our research is in roughly two weeks and I'm stuck with
loading my project to the board...
